Letters From Alistair Begg

Dear Friend,

The arrival of spring signals all kinds of new beginnings. Plants that have been dormant “spring” into life, and birdsong, long silent, beckons us to a new day. The clocks change, and Easter arrives, bringing us once again to the cross, the empty tomb, and then to the ascension and Pentecost. At Pentecost, we are reminded of the indispensable work of the Holy Spirit in the believer’s life.

Dear Friend,

From time to time, when people ask how Truth For Life began, I tell them that it was in response to the initiative of others and the prayers of the Parkside elders.

Dear Friend,

I hope this finds you in good heart and in no way overwhelmed by preparations for Christmas.

Dear Friend,

I haven’t checked, but I will not be surprised to discover that the content of my letter written four years ago on the threshold of the US election was not dissimilar to this letter, particularly in seeking to declare, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns” (Rev. 19:6).

Dear Friend,

I just returned from the SING! Conference, hosted by my friends Keith and Kristyn Getty. Part of my responsibility was to encourage pastors like myself to take seriously our role as it relates to the singing of the congregation. We considered how the twelfth verse of Hebrews 2 should guide our thinking: “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”

It seems like only yesterday that we were enjoying Memorial Day parades and looking forward to summer. Now here we are: the school runs have returned, and already Labor Day is in the rearview mirror. Furthermore, the general election is fast approaching, and the tension in the country is building.

Dear Friend,

It happens to me every year on the Fourth of July: I find myself torn between the country of my birth and my adopted homeland. The first thirty-one years of my life were spent in the UK, but in many ways, the past forty-one in the US have actually deepened my ties with family and friends who still live on the opposite side of the Atlantic.

Dear Friend,

The United Nations represents itself as “the world’s only truly global organization”—one committed to “peace, dignity and equality on a healthy planet.” There is good reason to challenge that claim and to question the organization’s ability to achieve its objective. The UN came into existence in October 1945 to maintain international peace. Seventy-nine years later, we are living in a broken world where strife and disorder among people and nations is arguably worse than at any other point in history.
